The conference is an annual event started in 2006 in Riga (Latvia). For 7 years, it has been organized by the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia. In 2013, the event moved to Estonia, and was organized by the Institute of Physics, University of Tartu (Estonia), then returned back to Riga in 2014, where a joint conference RCBJSF–2014–FM&NT was organized.
The topics of the conference are related to (but are not limited by):
- Functional Materials and their Technologies (theory, multiscale and multiphenomenal material modelling and simulation, advanced inorganic, organic, ionic and hybrid materials, composites);
- Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies (novel methods of design, fabrication techniques and investigation of nanoparticles, nanostructures, thin films and coatings);
- Sustainable energy (prospective materials and technologies for renewable and hydrogen energy, fuel cells, photovoltaics, LEDs, OLEDs).
, will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, on October 5 – 8, 2015.){kind=link}
